I know this front office isn't the brightest, but why would they sign a guy who has no experience and washing dishes for 2 years to a mutiyear deal? It's not like other team were clamoring for him. He paid his way to the tryout.

its for leverage. none of the money is guaranteed anyway so if he sucks you cut him with no penalty. if he s any good you have a player under contract getting league minimum. in that situation the longer the contract, the more advantage it is to the team
